This is our last day in Wales. Fortunately, although it was still not very warm, the rain stayed away.
We went down to Tal-y-llyn. The lake in this weather looked quite dark, and the wind was whipping up little waves across it. The highest peak is Cader Idris. We got a completely different view of it on Friday, when we drove down from the other side, passing Cader Idris on our right and then catching glimpses of the lake through the trees.
A must-see in this part of the country, is the narrow guage Talyllyn Railway. This line was built in the 1860s and used to carry slate, although it also carried passengers. Talyllyn claims the distinction of being the first preserved railway in the world.
Naturally, we had a ride on the train - taking it from Abergynolwyn to Tywyn and back. It was a really good way to see the countryside, as the train travels very slowly and there was no need to worry about driving.
Afterwards, we drove on through Tywyn and Aberdyfi along the coastline until the road took us back inland. We finished with one final trip through Borth for our last day in Wales.
Pob hwyl, Cymru! - Goodbye, Wales!
